Shwethagiri | Rooms in a Homestay

I really think it's very expensive for the place and for the facilities.. the location is beautiful.. the room is not very great for the price that you pay.. the view of greenery is good.. but again.. have stayed in better rooms for cheaper price.. you could stay at any hotel for a cheaper price and order food of your choice instead of a per head cost including the food. The food is good, has a good spread, homely, but when you go out of your home you may want to have a little something un-homely too.. the food tastes good though nothing to complaint. The guys are very courteous and help you with everything.. but again.. I feel it's seriously priced high.. The bathrooms look clean but need some improvements.. the water where we stayed was really slow.. and the showers were positioned in some wierd angle in our bathroom, made us feel as through the shower spray didn't want us to use it. There are insects in the bathroom.. you expect that maybe.. and they may not be harmful.. but still it's still a little disturbing.. Also simple things like the waste water from the washbasin falls to the bathroom/toilet and it's not well planned.. not everyone will like such things.. The place and location is good.. but there's scope for improvement.. People are ready to spend the money.. I just wish the owners or the people who run this understand that when you charge so much, you've got to deliver that much more.. The rooms are pretty basic, the guys around to help are good, food is good, location is good as is the case with most of the resort's or home stays around.. this is a small place and when you drive down till this place, no point is far. I don't regret having come to this place, just that bitter taste of feeling.. is it really worth so much.. I've paid maybe a couple of thousands more and stayed at a lavish resort in Yercaud with our two kids.. At this place we stayed without our kids and still paid so much.. just an example.. but maybe a good thing for people to ponder..

Food was so bad that you couldn’t even eat. Service was pathetic. Went for tea first. Coffee had extra sugar. Some cold tasteless bajji. For dinner they had puri that had a lot of sticky smelly oil on it. One guy serving in the night was being very polite to the other family who was there but was being awkward while replying to us. Don’t know if he got offended after seeing our disappointed faces. Rooms were damp and smelly . And in the middle of the forest they decided to have loud Bollywood songs being played till 10 in the night around a bornfire.Real disaster of a place. since I paid for food which turned out to be so bad that I had to eat road side omelets instead.

The food was excellent, the rooms were okayish. But the path to get to the rooms left a lot to be desired. They should be lit up in the night.

Good location, polite n couteous staff but too highly priced for d facilities provided
